    British Science Fiction Series

    It would appear that Barry died as a result of a fall at a Banbury Shopping Centre. Curiously the first mention of him in the national media and thus gets an obit! Incidentally, the Telegraph have an obituary-based podcast, discussing recent deaths. They'll be doing a bloody dead pool next!

    Football

    Question: Do Rangers really want to play Celtic in the Scottish Cup as it will increasly might happen should the Old Firm win their respective home matches? Dunfermline have odds of up to 12/1 to upset the apple cart. Bet of 2014?

    Derby Dead Pool 2014

    Also, I started a new job last week which involves 2 buses across 6 miles as the crow flys. By the end of the week I was as brain-dead as Munoz and unable to do anything at the weekend as I normally do. Rather than make an addition, I'll integrate her into the last post. That means we have had 31 hits in 31 days. Remarkable...

    Hollywood Possibilities

    Shouldn't complain about journos being accurate............. Putting aside the dismissive euphemism of calling someone a junkie who is battling drug addiction it is non journalistic Daily Mail/National Enquirer bottom feeding to have young kids faces on the front page of their rag. They were his kids, he was an actor, he was a junkie, they are grieving... 100% spot fucking on from my perspective. Blame the dad... A/ for being a junkie B/ For being 'newsworthy' by choosing a $$$ limelight profession C/ For topping himself and D/ for naming his kids those 3 names. but you cannae argue they were not spot on. I would have thought as a Jock you'd have more sympathy for a smackhead...

    How would you know it was not on the Wikipedia before and conveniently altered to make it look different to the BBC's version?

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    Question is, does she qualify for unnatural points? Or indeed any: But that's according to her husband. It will ultimately be left to the judge to decide whether she is dead or will be dead. But she would be considered naturally "dead" and only kept unnaturally alive. In many ways this is the inverse of the "unnatural" deaths we often get. Another rule to get straightened out...
